Together for Children works on behalf of Sunderland City Council to deliver children’s services. As part of ongoing efforts to use the experiences of children, young people and families to shape and improve services, it has commissioned several pieces of research by the University of Sunderland to look at what works - even when services are offered to small numbers or are so sensitive in nature that few families are willing to share their stories openly.

Walking On Eggshells - an evaluation of domestic abuse services in Sunderland - is the latest piece of research to come out of this collaboration.
